Man dies five weeks after Sydney dog attackA man attacked by two dogs in Sydney's west more than a month ago dies in hospital, as figures reveal an increase in attack incidents across NSW. Staffys need to be banned too many cause harm to humans and other dogs. They oversaturate the pounds. I love dogs but this breed has never integrated into society. rspca banstaffys . These are a dangerous dog breed. Ban all dangerous dog breeds. All dogs and cats to be sterilized and microchipped. All dogs to be kept leashed and muzzled unless in special dog proof cages and must have insurance of minimum of $1 million dollars. ZERO dog attacks. A tragedy. Saddened by this news.

Sydney Opera House ads appeared next to anti-women YouTube videosAdvertisements for The Sydney Opera House were running on anti-feminist YouTube videos criticising single and working mums sparking fresh calls for greater regulation of online advertising giants. I didn't know Australians were fascists. People often don’t get a choice where you tube or other social media place their ads. I have informed companies before that their ads are appearing along side really dubious and sexual things. They say that was not their decision but would look into it 😞 Usually the companies won't have the access to decide where their ads would appear. YouTube is already shit atm plz don't create another adpocalypse... This is a problem of YouTube not the advertiser
